The darkness is now the light. But not in eye surgery, but in the magic of technology. Mark Zuckerberg’s company Meta opened a new horizon for the blind. Their special artificial intelligence or AI-powered smart glasses have now changed the course of the lives of people with disabilities. For those who are blind or have mobility issues, these sunglasses are now Aladdin’s magic lamp. The hassle of repeatedly taking the smartphone out of the pocket is gone in an instant. Everything will be done without touching hands, gestures and tone of voice.

These glasses have a bunch of great features. These Meta glasses from popular eyewear brands like Ray-Ban or Oakley say, ‘Hey Meta, be my eyes’ just once. Yes, the video call will go to someone close to you instantly. There is no need to touch the phone screen at all. The person on the opposite side can see in real-time what is ahead. Not only that, it is now possible to pick up, cut or mute WhatsApp or Instagram calls with just the voice. With a gentle touch of a button on the glasses, Meta AI will accurately describe your surroundings.

Billions of people around the world suffer from some form of disability. This technology is now a great medicine to make them self-reliant. US veteran Donald Overton, who lost his sight in the Iraq war, is now reading restaurant menus with these glasses on. Walking alone in the airport. Again, quadriplegic Noah Kariya is taking great pictures and videos without moving his hands.

The meta doesn’t stop there. They also opened the door for other app makers. As a result, apps like ‘Orion’ are now helping visually impaired people find house keys or useful items. Helping to avoid roadblocks. Meta is teaming up with Carnegie Mellon University to develop a wristband that works by sensing muscle signals. Even patients with spinal cord injuries can control the device with just hand gestures. This transformation of life at the hands of science is truly a fairy tale.
